Abstract
A new boundary integral equation formulation for the elastic stability analysis of thin plate is presented in this paper. This formulation involves only two kinds of integral equations which are similar to those employed in the linear analysis of plate bending problems by the boundary element method and are suitable to plates with arbitrary plan forms and under general boundary conditions or in-plane load conditions. A new simple boundary element discretisation scheme is established based on these integral equations. Satisfactory numerical results obtained on a microcomputer with constant elements clearly show the applicability and efficiency of the approach developed in this paper.
